Cigar; Ive only been in SLI for 8 years, and have tried to make money off of SLI as a day trader way back when I started. I learned a hard lesson or two by not having the knowledge this board has given me. That is why I have such respect for the board and its leaders. I was in at 10 cents way back, and if I had not been so dumb, and impulsive and impatient, today I would have over a million dollars even @ a SP of 2 dollars. But, hind site being 20-20, I played around, trying to make money, by being an uninformed day trader. To be quite honest, I did not know that stockhouse, agoracom or any other board even existed. So I guess what Im trying to say about the kitchen thing is this---- maybe I shoudnt be here either, and I certainly am not trying to tell you or anyone else to get out, but if its wrecking your life or investment portfolio, maybe you should pull out and invest in stock that leaves you with more comfort and profit. I do not believe that Murry or Lori or anyone else in management means to give you wrong information, but are simply saying that they THINK it should be next week. Noboby only the Peruvian goverment and God knows when the permit is going to come, and that is just the way it is. NO harm intended, and please dont take it so personal. Hope this explains the kitchen thing anyway. I am a novice trader and am not afraid to admit it. But, obviously after 8 years and over $300,000 dollars invested in SLI, I am a believer. I believe this is a great stock, and probably the only chance many of us will ever have to be filthy rich. If not, at least we tried. Thats more than Moammar Gadaffi will even allow his citizens to try. Im okay with the priviledge to win or lose. Rinky
